The Somali American Leaders and Mediators (SALAM) program is a unique training program shaped by Somali practices and Islamic teachings for Somali youth (18-25). Somali youth take a mediation training that is certified by the Minnesota Supreme Court to become mediators eligible for the Rule 114 roster. Additionally, they learn about and participate in restorative practices. The goal is for Somali youth to use these skills in their schools, workplaces, and communities. Mediation and restorative justice practices empower communities to solve conflicts and restore relationships without (or with reduced) punitive measures. This program is in partnership with Community Mediation and Restorative Services. 
The Introduction to Restorative Justice training will be a 1-Day training offered April 30th, 2018. Breakfast and lunch will be provided!  The full Mediation training will be four full days on May 1-4, 2018. This training will be certified by the Minnesota Supreme Court. SALAM participants who complete all 30 hours will receive a stipend. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for this training as well.
